I’d love to see the return of Dead or Alive with the vibrant colors of 4 and the gameplay of 5, along with a revival of Bloody Roar, CVS3, Soul Calibur, and-please-a new Killer Instinct....in terms of collections i would like a Tekken and Virtua Fighter retro collection.
i love this video simply because you mentioned DOA and soulcal one right after the other. i grew u playing DOA 4 and all the soulcal games. i didn't realize soulcal was so popular until i was an adult--no one i grew up with really played them--so i love watching any video that talks about it. imagine how my heart jumped when you said DOA, then started talking about soulcal IMMEDIATELY after! i love both franchises with my whole heart & i couldn't be more appreciative to you for saying exactly how i felt about them in this video!
Thank you for the support! I can kinda relate to that. Alot of the friends I had weren't fans of fighting games much so I'm always glad to give a voice for everyone to talk about these great games!
Just like Mortal Kombat isn't MK without the over-the-top violence, Dead or Alive isn't DoA without the over-the-top fanservice. If the series returns, I hope they don't shy away from that just because some puritans lose their minds. It doesn't have to go as far as some of the DoA 5 Last Round outfits did (though I wish it would), but they should still give the girls bikinis or other revealing costumes. It's not the reason I play the series, I play it because it's the gameplay is very fun but fanservice certainly adds to the enjoyment.
At this point we need dead or alive to make a comeback in something that isn't just the volleyball games and that 1 dating SIM that's gonna be coming out that not only won't be out in the states but also it won't have any of the OG girls as datable options for crying out loud. We also need Soul Calibur to come back because I know 6 didn't do all that great but that's part of the reason why that it would be so cool to have the original games all be available on modern platforms and not be locked into specific systems I mean the third game is still only available on ps 2. And on top of all that we definitely need more fighting games that have single player content again because we're seeing the consequence of constantly focusing on just online and a mediocre story mode.
I agree with that! I feel that DoA should atleast get something whether it's a remaster collection or new entry. Same thing with SC, it's a damn shame that we don't have an easy to access older games. The lack of content is kinda why I feel SC6 really didn't stick the landing imo. If it just had more things to offer and had better support from the company then it would've been at a better spot.
@KazakTheGamingVagabond They gave us something akin to the weapon master mode from 2 but they didn't have any of the cool options on display like 3 did or even 4 to some degree. That's why I never bought 6 when it came out because when all you give us is just a story mode and a weaker diversion of mission mode with the only new thing you have is DLC characters I'm not gonna buy the game even if one of the DLC characters is my girl Cassandra.
@@KazakTheGamingVagabond And I'm not mad at you because she is definitely worth it especially since in the main series she got dogged after 4 and was just missing in astral chaos and then we never saw her in 5 because she was still stuck in astral chaos so to see her back in 6 complete with the version of her that was from astro chaos warning her about all the crap that went down in the franchise is a way better way to treat her character.
Tbh Soul Calibur 6 my 2nd fave fighting game. Brace urself for a brick of text lol. I'd even say I prefer it to 2 but I have to give 2 its credit as the ONLY fighting game to ever achieve game of the year. Its just done too much for fighting brakes in general. Soul Calibur 6 was done on a shoestring budget and a fun fact it was based of the pacing of 2 and since I still play 2 here and there I can say they did pretty damn well. Dont get me wrong 3 is awesome and my 3rd fave almost solely for 1p gameplay. Its biggest flaw was the save game corruption bug. Now lemme hit u with the upsides to 6 that slot of ppl ignore. Mechanics wise I LOOVE soul charge and lethal hits. Soul charge and becoming ur characters most OP self is fun and I don't hate it like heat because its either that OR u do ur critical art. You don't have to deal with charge AND critical unless they haven't been spending and blow everything. Lethal hits are a great addition and requires u knowing ur character and how to move to set these up and it feels great to hit one on stepping a vertical or blowing up a guard impact Reverse edge is my only real issue but after nerfs it isn't real bad at all and tbh if u were good it rarely was too problematic since they could all be stepped and hit with a break attack for big damage. All the characters were extremely fleshed out and felt vastly different to there old clone selfs. Like sophi and Cass are completely overhauled. Amy and Raph are once again very different to each other and there move set feels complete. Sc6 story is kinda meh but sc2 was no better lol it was weapon master mode and arcade artwork endings. And sc6 did have some pretty good stories like I personally liked hilde , setsuka and Hwang. Then there is create a soul which is basically carried over from 5 bar reselling us some costume stuff in dlc which is something Namco needs to stop especially with tekken 8. Lol as u can see I love me some soul Calibur. Otherwise I agree with Doa aswel 5 was my fave followed by 4. 6 is a travesty
Honestly, you make a fair point about SC6. Personally, I still enjoy the game myself, I just wish that Bandai Namco actually took the time to support the game more back then. I feel like it had potential to be so much bigger than what it is now. I just kinda wished that the story mode was similar to SC3 with the different character endings and such. Content-wise, 6 just needed something more with better replay value. Maybe even adding in some stages and such. That's really the biggest critique I have with it was that I wanted more. Granted, SC2 didn't have a whole lot but the reason it's looked more fondly was because it had alot of unlockables such as characters, outfits, weapons, and such which added to the replay value. SC6 truly deserved to get way more support from the team. As for DOA, yeah I still like to play 5 every now and then. I just hope DOA7 can actually redeem the series if it ever does come to reality lol
doa 6++ isn't a new game but doa 6 has fairly substantial gameplay and stage modding. there's a post about it on the freestepdodge forum and some gameplay videos on here
DOA 6 failed because it had ridiculous monetization, no core features like a lobby system, and lack of QOL. DOA 5 also had $70 season passes but at least had basic core features
Strong disagree with you on DOA5. I LOVE DOA5 in terms of gameplay and content. I rather play DOA5 Last Round than the older games. I consider it one of my favorite fighting games of all time IMO cause of the gameplay alone. DOA5 IS a good game and I'm dying on that hill.
I say that's fair. The gameplay is still fun and I occasionally like to play it. I just don't have a strong attachment to it as I do with the other games in the series.
really hoping for soulcalibur return. or earlier soulcalibur re-releases. they had soulcalibur 2 hd online but took that off the market *facepalm* like wtf
4:13 Respectfully i have to disagree DOA 2 , 3 , 4 , Dimension ... non of them had that much Costumes compare to DOA5 and they weren't that much fanservice, (Itagaki wanted DOA To have fanservice , but not it defines it by turning the game into a Store, something that right now Tekken is doing , and Fans are pissed) if any mistake DOA 6 made was, it lacks good Stages, new Characters, some annoying new mechanics like "Meters", and lack of advertisement and players..... and sure, Fanservice could also brings more players, but DOA Is not defined by it , in fact DOA 5 Ruined this Franches reputation by relying too much on fanservice , something that was not in doa 4 or 3 or 2 . (and in base game, in term of fanservice , there were tones of fan services in costumes , honoko and christie are prime examples)
Yeah I see what you're saying. I do agree that DOA is not defined by it's fanservice but to be fair, it is a consistent element that's always been part of the games with the jiggle physics and how the female characters typically always getting way more selection of outfits. Some of which being swimsuits, revealing body suits, and even maid outfits in DOA1's case. Granted, the later games were pretty mild compared to now, but again, it was an element that did reoccur in each entry with DOA5 taking it to a much higher level. Not to mention, we did have the Xtreme games that likely added on to people only seeing it as a very fanservicy series. However, I definitely agree that DOA5 was basically where it started to really go into that way more to where even if it wasn't defined by it, it kinda is now because of how much KT basically prioritizes that over the quality. Even after the release of DOA6, it just kept going further into that direction but even worse because of the season passes snd all that. Unfortunately, I don't see it changing anytime soon but hopefully they balance it out better and put more of the emphasis on making the game better before they immediately start dropping the fanservice outfits 😂
@@KazakTheGamingVagabond I Don't see any fault in using Fan services, Street Fighter 6 doing this (by adding a single fanservice outfit for jury and chun li) and people praising it , T8 Adds tones of Fan service outfits , And Fans Gets hype for it(also T8 Sells old outfits, oh my god , i just hope that Next Doa doesn't do this Crap, i don't want to pay money to get Kasumi's Classic Outfit , or ayane's classic outfits) The Fact that Itagaki Knew that what people wanted and actually giving them , was correct answer(DOA 2 - 4 all of them in term of fanservice are pretty good), DOA6 Also was doing right , Game in base form gave us ESPORT Outfits(kasumi,tina,ayane, etc... first outfits are pretty much covered up) , but the game also gives us CLASSIC OUTFITS(and some extreme outfits , prime example Honoko's Outfit 4 , and Christie's) and similar to DOA5, Tones of DLC Outfits for people who want this...but I Blame doa5 , it ruined a reputation that DOA6 Hardly tried to take back(DOA5 Got its props, i am not gonna lie, its cross overs, its characters, its stages ,... but it also damaged the series itself, because it was the first game after 8 years of absent in gaming industry) in my opinion DOA6 Was butchered by many problems, Reviewers were too harsh on it(some called BOOB Fighter even, again, because DOA5 Already made this series looks like a joke) KT Really did not work on any special big advertisement on this game The game developed really quick , which in the end did not allow the developers to add much of story, or stages or new characters(there was not even a new win pose) New mechanics are interesting on paper , bad in core gameplay( Meter is not bad idea , but oh my god, that Side step mechanic ruined the whole game, in NOOB Level matches, people just spamming this) DOA5 Fans were pissed, because many of fanservice outfits from DOA5 Was not present in Base Game(while all of them were in DOA5) which they might found it bad , because if they want fanservice , they have to play DOA5 (But in my eyes, this level of fanservice that doa6 kept was ok, it is similar to itagaki's style, it is ok that kasumi got her classic outfit, and some fanservice outfit, but why should she needs to have countless bikin outfits,that is extreme)...Also there was not much of new characters, so they were pissed to leave DOA5 and again , advertisment were awful that not many people were get excited to check this game(no i am not joking , check the amount of View over Reveal of DOA6 , and check one of Normal Tekken 7 Trailers about Some random characters or a Random Update, and see who got more view) Overall i don't see DOA6 as bad Game, i played so much to say this , it was mistreated badly(it deserves more love than likes "Asura's wrath" , etc... games)
Yes, DOA should comeback, hopefully that is the Team Ninja 30th anni announcement they teased in their greetings!
Same here. DOA deserves to get another fair shot and try to make it as polished as possible. I'll even take a remaster of the older games lol
I’d love to see the return of Dead or Alive with the vibrant colors of 4 and the gameplay of 5, along with a revival of Bloody Roar, CVS3, Soul Calibur, and-please-a new Killer Instinct....in terms of collections i would like a Tekken and Virtua Fighter retro collection.
Pretty good choices all around! If DOA7 can take those elements from those two games, I would be more than happy with that!
i love this video simply because you mentioned DOA and soulcal one right after the other. i grew u playing DOA 4 and all the soulcal games. i didn't realize soulcal was so popular until i was an adult--no one i grew up with really played them--so i love watching any video that talks about it. imagine how my heart jumped when you said DOA, then started talking about soulcal IMMEDIATELY after! i love both franchises with my whole heart & i couldn't be more appreciative to you for saying exactly how i felt about them in this video!

Now lemme hit u with the upsides to 6 that slot of ppl ignore. Mechanics wise I LOOVE soul charge and lethal hits. Soul charge and becoming ur characters most OP self is fun and I don't hate it like heat because its either that OR u do ur critical art. You don't have to deal with charge AND critical unless they haven't been spending and blow everything.
Lethal hits are a great addition and requires u knowing ur character and how to move to set these up and it feels great to hit one on stepping a vertical or blowing up a guard impact

Excellent picks!

in my opinion DOA6 Was butchered by many problems,
Reviewers were too harsh on it(some called BOOB Fighter even, again, because DOA5 Already made this series looks like a joke)
KT Really did not work on any special big advertisement on this game
The game developed really quick , which in the end did not allow the developers to add much of story, or stages or new characters(there was not even a new win pose)
New mechanics are interesting on paper , bad in core gameplay( Meter is not bad idea , but oh my god, that Side step mechanic ruined the whole game, in NOOB Level matches, people just spamming this)
DOA5 Fans were pissed, because many of fanservice outfits from DOA5 Was not present in Base Game(while all of them were in DOA5) which they might found it bad , because if they want fanservice , they have to play DOA5 (But in my eyes, this level of fanservice that doa6 kept was ok, it is similar to itagaki's style, it is ok that kasumi got her classic outfit, and some fanservice outfit, but why should she needs to have countless bikin outfits,that is extreme)...Also there was not much of new characters, so they were pissed to leave DOA5
and again , advertisment were awful that not many people were get excited to check this game(no i am not joking , check the amount of View over Reveal of DOA6 , and check one of Normal Tekken 7 Trailers about Some random characters or a Random Update, and see who got more view)
Overall i don't see DOA6 as bad Game, i played so much to say this , it was mistreated badly(it deserves more love than likes "Asura's wrath" , etc... games)
